I know this thread's been made before, but I want to find a good read for the winter. I've finished reading the Inheritance Series(amazing books, almost teared up when I finished with them.....) I've also read the Twilight books(weren't terrible) a few Alex Cross books, and the Lightning thief series. What books do you reccomend? And have any of you read the Kite Runner? If so, how was it?

Really? A military treatise is your favorite book? That has no... anything, other than very basic and general concepts. Yes we are all aware it makes you sound awesome to say "Art of War" but come on. Every topic in the text is so general it can be applied to anything you want it to be. The only reason it's so well known is because it's so damn old.

Come on.

My favorite book is... Robin Crusoe I suppose. The Eye of the World is up there too. It's the first book in The Wheel of Time series.

This was a fantastic book, however my favorite has to go to either A Walk in the Woods or the books by Douglas Adams.

9:25 PM [Morgan-Crp] If I had to piss, and there wasn't a toilet around, I wouldn't be like "Oh hey, a bowl of fruit loops, I'll piss in it" No. I would find a bush or something.it seems that EVERY gun these days shoots ropes, money, tits, lasers, etc....put this in your sig if yours still shoots the other team...A Proud Masshole!

Merlin-avalon. I read them years ago and somehow I still rank them as some of the most interesting books I've read. I remember being 12 and actually wanting to read. That's not something you could say about all 12 year olds when you give them about 3000-4000 pages to read lol

I also plan on re-reading them this summer because they still are my favorite books come to think of it.

You should read the foundation series if you can remember important plot points and characters, its really good.

How did you like Inheritance? I thought it was alright, I thought Paolini just kept on breaking him down as a character too much though and the ending sort of just seemed like he wanted to get it done and over with.

Maybe start a Occupy Windhelm movement. Start piling up items outside the doors of the house. Those Occupy movements totally changed how banking and society interact so I'm sure it will work for you.

Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit
Dune
Harry Potter
Brave New World
The Giver
Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons
Most of the Star Wars books
Any Manga based on Anime that I've watched
Religious texts like Tao Te Ching, Quaran, Bible, etc. Good stuff to read even if you don't follow a religion, in my opinion.
Any mechanical book for car engines, electronics, building blueprints, etc.

I will laugh as they overwhelm our enemies in a flurry of spotted banana hammocks.

They're probably my favorite books. I think I starting reading Eragon in like 3rd grade and I just fell in love.

Inheritance was really good. It was filled with action, but I do feel like the end was a bit..... sloppy. He should've spent more time paying attention to details. I damn near started screaming when they found the Vault of Souls. It made me so happy, I have no idea why.

Spoiler Alert!!!!!!

The ending when he was talking about the fact that every race had the right to be a Rider should have been more in depth. Along with the alteration of the Blood Oath. I think he made it really dull and kind of unimportant, when in fact that's probably one of the most important parts in the book. If he would have dedicated maybe another 150 pages to the end it would have been much more enjoyable.

Another thing that kind of urked me was the ending between Arya and Eragon's relationship. I wish he would've done something more uplifting besides breaking Eragon's heart.

God yes, I hated the ending, she probably should have thought of a way to keep them together, and I agree on more elaboration for the Alteration, it was really downplayed from what it should have been.

I recommend anything by Murakami. I've read "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" and it's now a favorite of mine. Now, I'm working on his book "A Wild Sheep Chase". His stuff reads a little slower than The Inheritance series, but it's still worth it.

Stop worrying about how you look, and start worrying about how you play. Get out on the field and play paintball the best you can, not stand at home in front of a mirror trying to figure out if your jersey matches your eyes.

I agree with both your points, however, I feel like if he had done a flash forward and tied everything up (Arya and Eragon together, shit I'd even be fine with only Saphira and Firnen getting back together, just something to tie the series up with not the half-assed "And then he went on a boat ride to magical thumb-your-ass land I would have been fine with it.) It really ended the series on a sour note for me with the way he put it.

They were "Mourning what could have never been" Atleast just make atleast wrap it up with them getting back together, I agree that it was really a sour ending.

I REALLY hope he continues the series where him and Arya reunite. Orik an Nar' Garvzohg(or however you spell) could become riders and they can travel to lands outside of Alegasia. It'd be cool if Roran's daughter became a Rider too.

As mentioned before... The Artemis Fowl series. Another good one is Alex Rider. And have you started the Heroes of Olympus series? It's a great series, can't wait for the third. There's also the Kane Chronicles.
